Patchnotes v0.11.4

The Story Update is here! Join Onbu on an epic journey as you learn more about the world, its inhabitants, and the source of the infestation. Meet a cast of unique characters, help them out in a series of side quests, and prepare for an intense final showdown. We've also added two new Onbu skins: "Sakura" can be unlocked by completing Story Mode, while "Tahoa" must be earned by beating Challenge Mode on at least 15 Hostility points. Read the patchnotes below for a detailed breakdown. We hope you enjoy the new update!

What's New

"Story Mode": Introduces many new characters and a main quest that sheds more light on the past - and future - of the world and its inhabitants, adds over 10 side quests, multiple new soundtracks, new world map locations and an intense final showdown
Added "Food Compostation" research - allowing the Compost Heap to turn food into compost/biogas

Improvements

Save files will now show an icon representing the corresponding game mode
Updated icons for all game modes
Various fixes for RTL languages in the UI
Completely reworked how the world map is generated - this should hopefully fix a whole category of map-related bugs. Map bugs may still be visible when loading an existing save file, but they should not affect gameplay too much and should fix themselves after a while
Performance improvements across the board
Gamepad: Radial menu resets when using tools and reopening. No direct filters anymore.
Gamepad: Left on the D-Pad now navigates to the sidebar
Gamepad: Reworked and improved navigation for Research window
Gamepad: Improved navigation for Glossary
Show resources in food stand even if it is disabled
Festival section in Onbu command bar shows all available buildings on a single line
Improved readability for difficulty mode entries in Glossary
Updated sound effects (radio tower, clay deposit)
Resources in food stand can now be traded (e.g. for scavenging events)
Improved display of long titles in Glossary
Proper icon for experimental health potion and some other Onbu missions
Removed obsolete popup when building a monument for the first time
Reworked most game systems to use persistent deterministic random number generators. This should make some random effects that should be consistent actually consistent (such as outcomes of scavenging decisions, spawn locations of wild plants etc), and it helps us to reproduce issues more reliably in the future
Ending credits got a makeover and special soundtrack
Gamepad: hide sidebar glyph while menus are open
Gamepad: costs and rewards of scavenging missions can now be navigated
Added missing UI icons for various status effects and horn commands

If you're interested in The Wandering Village, please wishlist and follow us :)

You can also join the game's community on Discord:

In a world where mysterious plants are spreading all over the earth, emitting toxic spores as they grow, a small group of survivors seeks shelter on the back of a giant, wandering creature they call 'Onbu'.
Become their leader, build their settlement and form a symbiotic relationship with the creature to survive together in this hostile, yet beautiful post-apocalyptic world that now surrounds you.

Build your village

A functioning village is the basis of your survival. Build your settlement and expand it over the creature's back. Plan production chains and optimize them to utilize the limited space as efficiently as possible. Create a society that can overcome any challenge.

Live on the creatures back

Living on the back of another organism comes with its own set of challenges. Will you live in symbiosis, bond with the creature and survive on mutual trust? Or will you become a parasite, only aiming to ensure a better life for your villagers? The choice is yours.

Discover different biomes

Travel through a multitude of different biomes and adapt your village to their unique opportunities and threats. Scout your environments and send out foraging missions to gather rare resources and ancient artifacts.

Research new technologies

Remnants of the old world hold knowledge that has long been forgotten, but can be unearthed by your villagers. Find and research these technologies, but use them wisely, as progress can be a double-edged sword.

Survive the wastelands

Ensure the survival of both your villagers and your Onbu, even though poisonous spores, merciless weather, bloodsucking parasites and many more challenges mean that the odds are often stacked against you.
